Sonic.exe (version 5)

I thought I blogged about this one before, and that this would just be a blog about the updated version, but I guess I haven't nailed it before, so I'll get it all in one! This is a short little game that originally was just a Creepypasta story that would give some people nightmares, but soon became it's own game just to make sure even more kids went home with pee in their pants. Crimson the Bat puts this haunting tale into a game in beautifully sadistic way. I don't want to reveal too much because I want you guys to enjoy it for yourself, but I can give you a bit of idea so you have a clue of what you're getting yourself into. Basically you open the game and it goes through the traditional opening of Sonic the Hedgehog, except something creepy happens during the very last nano-second before it takes you into the character select screen. You are given three characters to choose from; Tails, Knuckles, and Dr. Robotnik  Eggman, and Knuckles are locked while Tails is playable though. You choose to play as him and the screen stops for a few seconds, followed by and evil laugh, and the game officially starts. There's a few things you should know about. First off, there's a little Easter egg in Knuckle's level, where if you run for like 2 minutes to the left, you will see something that will most likely make you laugh. There's many updates to this version being 5 like you actually see blood and stuff at the scenes where Sonic gets involved with your character. Also, if you play version 5, there will be a little more gameplay you can do after the picture of Sonic that has, I think, Chinese writing. This is one horror game that whether you're a fan of Sonic or not, you really should play this.

Slender Space

I know I already did Slender, but with many variations of it out there, there are sure to be some different enough to give a whole new rant about. This one if probably my favorite out of all the ones I've played. There are many people out there who are fans of the popular Dead Space series, and well as a fan of the Slender series. This game attempts to mix the 2 together, making for one heck of a game. You find yourself in a big space station as you start up the game, and all you know if that you're there, and you need to find the 6 power nodes somewhere within the space station, but little do you know, you have company. If you're like me, and just go straight into the game looking for the power nodes, it'll seem like the lights just suddenly go off and situates the game. In reality, if you look out the window that you can see when you first start playing, you notice that what I think is another space station comes towards you, crashing into the ship making the lights go out and all that good stuff (thank you Markiplier, for I would never have known that if I didn't watch you play it). The graphics and looks make this game all that much better and erie, and I don't know what else to say except that you really need to play this game. Also, I'm hoping that it is still in the works, but there is a multiplayer mode in the main screen, but it still says that it's not out yet, so I'm really looking forward to it if it does ever come out.

Vanish

I don't even know where to start with this amazing indie horror game. You're dropped in this sewer system with little clue what to do. You go around and see notes left for you from your friend, random arrows drawn, holes in the walls, and eventually you'll come across one of the monsters. One way that makes this game crazy is the monsters settings or whatever it's called. They are blind (as you learn on one of the notes) and go solely on sound, so one tip is that if you see one, try to get to the safest place you can as quietly as possible, and just sit there motionless until it's gone. Also, if you die, you'll learn one of the other cool things about this game, the fact that it's randomized. You will never get the exact same layout when you play this game, so you can't really plan out what you're going to do very well. I won't say anymore because I want you guys to try this game out, but know that this is definitly one of my favorite indie horror games that I have played so far!

Smile.exe

This game is based off the creepypasta story of the same name. If you like horror games, and are a bronie (I am not), or just like My Little Pony games, you will get a big kick out of this short game. You play the role of Pinkie Pie and it seems that your fellow ponies are sad or something. So you go around talking to them or what not, and then you reach a point in the game where weird things start happening, thus bringing in the horror aspect. I can't say much about this game without ruining it, but it is definitly worth playing/ Looking around the internet now, I still can't find the creepypasta, I found one called Smile.exe but it was a whole different story, so maybe the original got deleted, but you can still try the game.
